Gordon has ben far better, no doubt but the chances we give away seem to be clear cut and a goal. It’s the central defenders. They are just way off being good enough imo. The only time we’ve looked solid for a few games in a row is when smith has partnered someone. Brandon injury probably puts paid to any chance of that.

We should start faster but also be able to control a game at 0-0 and break teams down. We scored 2 v Raith at home and still got beat, clearly the defence is the issue. Boyce is another striker we seem to use the wrong way. Back to goal, 30 yards out - fire the ball at him. Wtf is he mean't to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not To answer another question being asked earlier (Not you Pres), the reason we are playing Rovers on Tuesday is this is the game cancelled due to SC Cup Final Lastly, we lost this game & others mainly due to lack of pace all over the park**, with the exception of GMS & Ginnelly on the wings. To quote an old saying "I've seen milk turn quicker!!" ** and contrary to our lack of pace, that's the quality our opponents have plenty of, especially a lot of youngsters playing up front or in midfield.

gregzy2k7 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Wow really didn't expect to lose today! This by far our worst defeat of the season imo, Why on earth are we going 3 goals down at home to raith before we start giving a reaction? RN has to sort this out quickly or the majority of our fans will begin to turn on him, It has been clear as day that we have needed a better CB for a while now, we need more drive and urgency in midfield and need someone who can hold the ball up front. There is serious work still to be done in the transfer market, We also have to stop the poor first halfs, can you imagine if we were playing the buns today, They would have scored about 10 in the first half alone, It's not good enough from the players or mr neilson!

Danny Wilde Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Under Budge's tenure the clubs self-worth and sense of stature in the Scottish game is slipping away. Our peers right now are Dundee, Dunfermline and Raith - and in the most recent head-to-heads they're beating us. We are not a top-4 SPL club suffering from some freakish twist of fate, we are barely a top-16 club overall in the Scottish game at this moment in time, no matter what that table says. We all shouted long and hard at the injustice of the curtailed SPL season that saw us relegated with so many games to go, but I no longer believe that they would have saved themselves. The evidence is clear to me that it would never have happened - other clubs simply find the extra dig and motivation that perpetually eludes us now. The club simply isn't performing, it isn't punching it's weight, and even if we pull out of this and get back up, we could become the yo-yo club that we were in the late 70's/early 80's. At least you could get hammered before getting on the supporters bus, get hammered on the bus, and get hammered on the way back. "5 year plan" LOL.

Alec Eiffel Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Who remembers the abysmal season 1981-1982 in the old First Division. Started under Tony Ford who was replaced by Alex McDonald. Motherwell skooshed the title but Hearts were in 2nd place up until 3rd last game. Got beat 5-2 at home by Dumbarton (???) meant a win at Killie would see promotion. It ended up 0-0 which meant Hearts required a win in the last game at home against Motherwell. A 1-0 defeat watched by a packed Tynie and another season in level 2. I went into that season fully confident that we would win the league easily. Great squad but shit team. Losing 5-2 at home to Dumbarton when leading 2-0. Lots of -0 wins that season, but many defeats by bottom feeder clubs: Dumbarton, Queens Park, Clydebank, ES, etc. This season, more teams are prepared to slog out a draw, Hearts' defence is weak and poor at ball retention.

Not for the first time this has happened this season. Something is just not right at the club. That is what concerned me as it took us about seventy odd minutes to get going, which was probably helped by Raith running out of steam. I was not particularly enamored at his appointment but nevertheless happy to keep an open mind. He has been allowed autonomy in bringing in his own coaching team, which is a subjective decision on his part. I accept we had to adopt a new broom sweep clean attitude but I think Andy Kirk should have been retained in the coaching set up on the basis of some continuity. After the Dunfermline defeat his comment that our winning run had to come to an end sometime is not a mind set that I want considering the huge budget advantage we have over the rest.We have now lost one quarter of the 12 games played with the cushion of seeing our rivals dropping points to each other. Today was by far the worst performance of the season particularly the first half . Until the closing stages the attitude or lack of it should set some alarm bells off and there needs to be a big reaction on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
